The diversity and specialization in the available of services isincreasing all the time. http://www.asp-directory.com/ is a goodreference on the services that you can examine.
Advantages of Using as ASP:
By outsourcing IT services to an ASP, one can connect multipleoffice sites across remote geographies to a comprehensive, high-performance computing and application capability via the Internetor a private network. Best of all, one would generally pay forapplications and information provided on demand with a fixedmonthly subscription bill.
By utilizing an ASP, a company can reduce the growingmaintenance burden that is placed upon in-house IT staff. InternalIT staff can effectively become more free to focus on delivery anduse of critical management information instead of focusing ontechnology maintenance and upgrades.
